Creating release and sprint development plans
Plans describe a set
of work items that are to be completed within the specified amount
of time.
The amount of time is called an iteration. Some
iterations are marked as releases, while others are designated as
sprints. You can use the note tab in a plan to add wiki-style pages
and describe the significant goals for a release or sprint of a development
project. In the plan view, you can organize and manage work items
and team loads for the plan. Progress is displayed in charts or with
progress indicators. You can display at-a-glance information about
a plan on its dashboard tab.
Note: In a scrum process, a release plan is called release backlog and
an iteration plan is called a sprint backlog.
